Maximum Muscle: Minimum Fat

Rating:
Summary: Lots of technical information
Review: "Maximum Muscle-Minimum Fat" went into the scientific details of why Ori's dietary approach works. "The Warrior Diet" was easier to understand and is a great book. "Maximum Muscle-Minimum Fat" seems geared to people who want to understand the tiny details. Buying "The Warrior Diet" is an excellent choice. Buying "Maximum Muscle-Minimum Fat" is fine as long as you just want to learn more about why "The Warrior Diet" works.

Summary: Instinctive eating, immediate results
Review: Are you interested in results? Are you looking for a nutritional and fitness regimen that will melt the fat and build the muscles, quickly and rather painlessly, then let you hold on to the gains you've made without living like a Buddhist monk for the rest of your life?

You may have stumbled across the holy grail of action-oriented diets here. Well, "diet" is misleading - I mean it in the sense of an ongoing way of eating, a nutritional regimen for life, not the current sense of a fad way of eating where you dump some pounds (usually fat AND muscle) and then gain 'em right back (usually more - and usually all fat this time, so you're worse off than when you started the "diet").

"Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat" (MMMF) and its companion volume "The Warrior Diet" (TWD), by the multi-talented Ori Hofmekler, explore what may be at its core the simplest to follow diet ever devised. It is at once a totally rational way of living, as documented in the scientific rigor and textbook depth of MMMF; in balance, it is also a romantic, dashing, and viscerally satisfying intensification of this rather drab way of living we Americans have fallen into - as exemplified in the marvelously earthy TWD.

If your body is not to your liking; if you yearn to be a Spartan warrior by day, feast like a Roman emperor at night, and look like a Greek god all the time; if you want it all, right now and with all the trimmings, thank you very much, then you've come to the right place. I have been on this regimen for a few months now, and it has literally given me a new life and a new body. I have lost 40 pounds, gained a LOT of muscle; my appetite is fantastic, I sleep like a baby, I relish every bite of food, and I go to bed literally stuffed and happy every night!

Go ahead and spring for these two information-packed books, and while you're at it pick up Ori's great exercise video, "The Warrior Workout." You'll have found a diet you can live with, and a way of living that will nourish your body, your mind, and your soul.

Summary: Ori's latest venture
Review: Ori Hofmekler has written a very thorough, detailed explanation of the science behind his "Warrior Diet" philosophy. He has obviously done his homework on this one. Metabolism, hormone secretion and muscle growth are just a few things Ori covers this time around. If you read his other book "The Warrior Diet" and had any questions as to what is going on inside the body's systems, they are no doubt answered in this book.

Summary: Warrior Diet Part 2
Review: Ori Hofmekler's "The Warrior Diet" details how and why to diet to achieve maximum performance. His latest venture, "Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat" outlines the science behind it all. I had to read through this one twice to really get my head around what was being taught. I found it extremely interesting to say the least! While I don't follow the Warrior Diet in a strict fashion, I'm slowly leaning towards it. I think this book was what I was looking for when questions arose from the first one. Anyone interested in fitness or nutrition should get themselves a copy and expand their knowledge. Well done!!!

Summary: This is "functional" !
Review: The functional training crowd missed it - Ori Hofmekler got it. By utilizing the actual function of the tissues and the body processes involved, Ori lays out a pathway to achieving your goals. The text is technical yet explained well enough for almost any reader to grasp. Mr. Hofmekler does not set out to demonize certain aspects of our physiology. Instead, he objectively looks at the information and shows how to optimize the work our body performs. I would characterize this book as the science behind the Warrior Diet. Which I resisted at first but find myself naturally gravitating towards. You will find many current nutritional beliefs challenged but it is well worth the pain of letting them go.

Summary: A Must Buy
Review: Turn off the home shopping channel and put down your new low carb diet book. In a sea of crash diets and fitness fads Ori Hofmekler offers an intelligent well researched and functional blueprint for healthy living. In his new book "Maximum Muscle Minimum Fat" Ori's passion for the beauty and complexity of the human body comes through on every page.

Those of you familiar with "The Warrior Diet" will find new information and further depth in Ori's latest offering. For readers new to Ori's research you will find a detailed exploration into how we can fuel and train our bodies to reach our full potential. A far cry from the usual diet/fitness books that line bookstore shelves, Maximum Muscle Minimum Fat offers an unprecedented exploration into the science human performance and in doing so sets a new standard.

Maximum Muscle Minimum Fat is not an easy read. This book is for people who aren't merely satisfied with diet and training tips but rather this is for people with the drive and capacity to ask why and how things work. Ori takes great care in laying out the science behind training the human body and it is his attention to detail that sets his work apart from the masses. This extremely well written book is packed with technical information along with carefully crafted summaries that help turn the science of training into the art of personal excellence.

Maximum Muscle Minimum Fat goes beyond training for the sake of vanity and explores the science behind functional strength. With this work Ori invites his readers to get off the sofa and go to the extreme in their training. By trumpeting the virtues of such training methods as; supersets, under and over eating the author artfully lays out a plan for healthy living that shows readers how to create "super muscles", and a fat burning metabolism.

As a martial arts coach and personal training I have encountered countless athletes and weekend warriors who will suffer and sacrifice in the gym only to fail to reach their goals for lack of proper planning in the gym and at the dinner table. Such people go through their training and their life with a kind of handbrake on, never reaching their full potential. For a practical method of pushing the limits of human performance and to create a functionally strong and fit body I highly recommend Maximum Muscle Minimum Fat.
